This morning was probably the best cycling either of us have ever had. The weather was glorious, beautiful sunshine and not too hot, the whole way down to Merano we followed fantastic cycle tracks through miles and miles of orchards
After last year's bike trip through Tuscany we had been a bit worried about what the cycle paths would be liked once we got to Italy, but they have been the best yet. They are mostly excellent Tarmac and are almost totally separate from traffic and followed the river down a series of steps all the way to Merano with great views of the mountains all around. Just Before Merano the path dropped quite steeply down with some great viewpoints on the way
We had talked about having a short day today and stopping just beyond Merano, however Sandra was on form today and going like a train so I just shamelessly tucked in behind into the headwind and we did another 25 miles on to Ora. A great day!
Miles today 60
Total miles 1000.25!!!
Excellent guys- just chatching up after a few days away and it's great reading!! Real hills at last and still going strong. Looks stunning out there and cycle tracks that even we might manage to stay upright on. Enjoy.
